"What?" Lupin answered so loudly that Hermione and Tonks turned to look at him.

"We discussed some things related to alchemy, and Professor Lupin got a little excited after hearing about my recent progress in alchemy." Ryan calmed the two women and turned to Lupin and said, "I just said I would try, but I didn't say it would definitely succeed..."

"It's okay. I believe you." Lupin took a deep breath and said, "We have always believed that you have a good chance of becoming the next alchemist like Nicolas Flamel. If there is someone I know who can solve my problem, it is you."

"What? You think so highly of me? I really don't deserve that." Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment. "But I did find out a very important piece of knowledge recently, which may really help you solve your problem. But I need to make it clear that I can't guarantee that I can find any results in this area. You may have to wait a long time and still end up with nothing."

"It's okay. So many years have passed. I can wait." Lupin smiled from the bottom of his heart. "You have to know that over the years, there are still too few wizards willing to do something for us werewolves. Because most wizards are not willing to do this kind of research for werewolves like us who don't have much money."

Ryan said he understood that the research on werewolf drugs was a bit like the research on drugs for rare diseases in his previous life. Because the number of patients was too small, the developed drugs might not be able to recover the cost, so those who had scientific research capabilities might give up researching drugs in this area for profit reasons.

"By the way, how should I cooperate with you?" Lupin asked seriously after venting his emotions.

"Give me a bottle of your blood first, and then I will observe you during the next full moon." Ryan looked up and thought for a moment before answering.

"Is that all? I remember that when Damocles Belby invented the wolfsbane potion, he collected a lot of information about werewolves, and even required seven or eight werewolves to cooperate with his experiments for a long time. You don't have to worry about affecting my life in this regard. I will do my best to cooperate with you." Lupin said in disbelief.

"It's okay. Thanks to Damocles Belby's observation data, I only need to read those papers for many things. There is no need to do a long observation again." Ryan explained. It might be because the wolfsbane potion really couldn't make money from werewolves, so after Damocles Belby invented the wolfsbane potion, he directly made public all his research notes and the method of brewing the wolfsbane potion.

This was a very clever approach. After Damocles found that he could not get enough economic benefits from this invention, he simply gave up all the economic benefits in exchange for fame. This was very successful, and Damocles Belby was awarded the Order of Merlin and became a potion master with the same reputation as Professor Snape.

After the matter was finalized, Lupin took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to draw a glass bottle of his own blood and gave it to Ryan. Then he was taken away by Tonks under the pretext of shopping.

"Professor Lupin is a good man, but he doesn't know that what he is doing is actually hurting Tonks." Hermione whispered as she watched Lupin and the others leave.

"He was just worried that Tonks was acting on impulse. You have to know that he will encounter more troubles than others in the future. Lupin doesn't want to bring these troubles to others. And he doesn't want to ruin the young girl's life because of himself." Ryan sighed. He remembered the ending of the couple in the original text, which was really uncomfortable.

"Yes, love is taboo to be blind and impulsive. But it is obvious that Tonks is not like that. She has already thought about all the difficulties she may encounter in the future. At this time, Lupin's blind rejection will obviously only hurt her." Hermione said: "Just now Tonks told me to give Lupin more time. She can understand Lupin's thoughts and believes that with her efforts, Lupin will change his mind."

"Both of them are good people! It's just that fate played a joke on them." Ryan concluded, and then said to Hermione: "Recently I plan to study ways to treat werewolves, hoping to help Lupin and others."

"It's a good thing to be able to help Professor Lupin, but it won't delay your OWLs exam, right? In fact, I think you can still do those things after you graduate from school, so there's no need to be so nervous." Hermione said with concern after hearing Ryan's words. "Don't worry!" Ryan said, pulling Hermione's hand and putting it in his palm to comfort her. "I have prepared all the things for the OWLs exam, and as I told you when I came here, I am studying some things that great wizards have studied. Helping Lupin just happens to be beneficial to my research in this area."

Ryan was telling the truth. He was currently studying the rules of the direction of change. Studying a way to reverse the process of humans turning into werewolves was the best time to get in touch with this rule. Not to mention that there was a wealth of data in this area, so he could save a lot of boring accumulation process.

"Okay, let's talk about this later." Ryan suddenly pulled back the topic. He felt it was too stupid to continue talking about this topic at this time. "I have prepared a gift for you."

Ryan said as he let go of Hermione's hand and pulled out a pink box from the space pocket on his waist. "Take a look. Do you like it? I spent a lot of time making this."

"Now that you mention it, I remember it." Hermione slapped her forehead in annoyance, and then took out a rectangle wrapped in pink paper from her pocket.

Ryan tore open the package and found a notebook inside. After opening it, there were dense letters written in beautiful fonts. Ryan looked carefully and found that it was a book about potion making. It recorded the methods of brewing potions such as Polyjuice Potion and Felixir, but the methods in the notebook were improved compared with the standard methods.

"I found this at Sirius's house, but it was covered with mold at the time. I later cleaned the notebook and copied it. I hope it will be useful to you." Hermione said as she unpacked Ryan's package.

"Thank you for your stuff. It's very useful to me." Ryan looked at Hermione and said
"As long as you like it - oh, what is this?" Hermione tore open the outer packaging of the gift Ryan gave her, and then saw an electronic product in the box.

"Apple phone?" Hermione took out a black smart phone from the box in astonishment. She recognized this thing because the first generation of Apple phones had just been released in the world of Inn of Human Skins, and many of the beasts in human skins she killed had them. "But this kind of electronic product is useless in Hogwarts."

"No, no, no." Ryan smiled and shook his head. "It just borrowed the appearance of that thing. In fact, it is a deeply improved version of the two-sided mirror. In addition to the functions of a two-sided mirror, it can also check all the textbooks and required reference books for grades one to seven."

"I like this gift very much." Hermione said happily after trying to find the original text of the book using the key words on it. "If this thing can be sold in your store, many people will buy it."

"At least not in the short term, because the cost is too high." Ryan was telling the truth. In order to achieve the effect of a future smartphone, the main body of this pair of double-sided mirrors is made of mithril, and many gems engraved with runes are inlaid on it. Originally made as a test mechanism, Ryan felt that it would take a long time to popularize this thing.

After finishing the butter beer, the rain also subsided a lot. Ryan and his friends took this opportunity to return to the castle.
